Women's Issues
Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCS
Traditionally research, healthcare and mental health care lacked focus on women's issues, but thankfully the times have changed on this! I support women or anyone identifying as a woman, providing the gender-affirming space and compassionate-care to explore the unique psychological, biological, and societal challenges that we face. My approaches in this work are deeply rooted in compassion, mindfulness, self-care and through a feminist-lens, recognizing that a woman's mental health is shaped by cultural expectations, systemic pressures, and hormonal transitions such as PMDD, perimenopause and menopause.

Women's Issues
Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Women often carry many roles at once—partner, parent, caregiver, professional, daughter, friend—while quietly losing connection with their own needs, identity, body, or inner voice. I support women navigating change, overwhelm, relationships, self-worth, stress, and the desire to reconnect
more deeply with themselves. Our work can include the mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and energetic dimensions of your experience, creating space not simply to cope with what life asks of you, but to rediscover what feels authentic, nourishing, and meaningful to you. Reconnect with yourself.

Shelley Klammer
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you consider yourself spiritual, empathic, intuitive, creative, deep-thinking, or highly sensitive (HSP)? Do you sometimes struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Are you frequently the empath to the narcissist in your relationships? Do you often ignore what you need and feel codependent or are overly self-reliant in your connections with others?
Do you sense that “younger,” unhealed aspects within you might be sabotaging your health, livelihood, relationships, or your willingness to ask for support? I specialize in supporting women to heal “unfinished emotional business” from the past in a strength-focused, non-pathologizing, depth-oriented, and strictly confidential way.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Women’s emotional and mental health concerns can show up in many ways, including pressure to meet expectations, difficulty setting boundaries, burnout from carrying too much for others, self-worth and self-confidence struggles, marriage and relationship struggles, or navigating life transitions and identity shifts. You may feel disconnected from your body, intuition, or sense of inner strength while trying to balance roles, responsibilities, and personal needs. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field in mind to support deeper healing from patterns that have been carried in the nervous system and body. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that helps you reconnect with your authentic self, your voice, truth, inner wisdom, and intuition.
